Over kill or not?🤔 @altcoinmerchant
As attackers have gotten more sophisticated, so have the measures cryptocurrency exchanges have taken to keep them at bay. These are designed to fulfill a range of objectives, including spam and bot deterrence, as well as to perform increased due diligence for legal reasons.
Binance with its “Fit the puzzle piece carefully” which has spawned numerous memes, and kept its customer support busy attending to users who can’t fit the puzzle. Kucoin, meanwhile, began asking odd questions of its customers a few weeks ago, and then repeating those questions every time they went to login, much to their annoyance.Bittrex will force you to log in twice after clicking a link in your email, stating that it doesn’t recognize your IP – even when you’re signing in from your usual location on your usual device. The quirks of logging into major exchanges have been assimilated into cryptocurrency culture, and while users may grumble, they accept that these measures are in place for their own benefit. Gate.io’s latest verification trick, though, has gotten traders talking.Completing KYC for Gate.io in a public place is no longer viable, but perhaps that’s part of the plan: to embarrass users into upping their opsec by logging in at home. As part of the verification process, users are required to recreate four out of a possible nine gestures before their webcam. From a security perspective, it’s certainly effective: bots have yet to master human gestures while pulling gang signs.

The bitcoin bears may be in control at the moment, but that is not leading one cryptocurrency market strategist to recoil. Fundstrat Global co-founder Thomas Lee is standing firm on his outlook for the bitcoin price to reach USD 25,000 by year-end despite the fact that the leading cryptocurrency has just revisited April lows and slumped to the USD 7,500 threshold. The market drop is serving as an indication that “bitcoin is underappreciated”, Lee said on CNBC, adding that’s why Fundstrat likes it at USD 8,000. He reiterated his top-10 day theory, in which historically all of bitcoin’s annual gains are achieved on the best 10 trading days of the year. Lee reminds investors that “bitcoin doesn’t have to go up in a diagonal line.” Even though the broader cryptocurrency market didn’t rally during the Consensus summit last week, it was a clear demonstration of the strong interest in the blockchain, as evidenced by the thousands of people who showed up, which Lee notes is anecdotal evidence that the market is resonating. “The notion of blockchain as a way to solve trust in the digital world has gained a lot of traction, especially out of consensus. And what invsetors aren’t conectinng is that you can’t necessarily just say ‘I believe in the blockchain.’ Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are essential to how blockchains operate in the security,” said Lee on CNBC. Meanwhile, reports suggest there is a talent shortage of blockchain developers given the robust demand stemming not only from startups but also global corporations looking to integrate the public ledger. For example, Google, which recently extended a job offer to Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin. Institutional Capital to Power Bitcoin Rally: Lee acknowledges that bitcoin could be a “scary trade” for investors, given that it has shed more than half its value from its December 2017 highs and that holding at USD 8,000 — which is at-cost for bitcoin mining — could feel “miserable.” What investors should remember, however, is that the market rally is contingent on a couple of milestones being reached in the market, including institutional capital coming off the sidelines and regulation taking shape.
